Ready to take your strategic thinking to a whole new level? Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is stepping into the virtual reality universe with a special edition coming soon to Quest 3 and 3S. This immersive experience, crafted by Playside Studios in collaboration with Meta, will be available starting April 10th. It promises to bring the thrill of both solo campaigns and online multiplayer battles to VR enthusiasts.

For those who are new to the Civilization series, the concept is straightforward yet rich with complexity: lead your nation from the dawn of time to modern glory. Choose your leader wisely as you decide whether to forge alliances or rivalries with other global powers. In this VR iteration, you’ll find yourself setting out from different historical periods, each with its own set of hurdles and accomplishments. Start with Antiquity and lay the groundwork of your empire. Test the waters of uncharted territories in the Age of Exploration. Sprint towards progress with the technological advancements of the Modern Age.

What makes this VR version truly unique is the ‘War Table’. It’s a feature that heightens the strategic feel, allowing players to interact with the game like a tactile tabletop. You can zoom, tilt, and navigate this virtual surface to execute your strategies with precision.

Another exciting feature is the game’s ability to let you dive into diplomacy talks or prepare your troops for the next big conquest. You’ll engage with both AI-driven civilizations and real-world players, using negotiation or military prowess to achieve victory. Plus, the VR edition offers both standard virtual reality play and a mixed reality mode, the latter utilizing passthrough technology to blend your real environment into the game.

If you’re ready to take the plunge, Sid Meier’s Civilization VII – VR is up for preorder on the Horizon Store for Quest 3 and Quest 3S, with a price tag of $60. Prepare to redefine your strategies in a world like no other.
